To Rick Mellerup:
You relied on the comments of old, white guys to an extent in your July 20 column (“News Alert: The United States Is Not in Worst Shape Ever”), and I qualify.
I would not say our country is “in the worst shape.” I would say that the president of our country, the branches of his administration and the people of our country have changed it into what they want it to be. It is their decision, and their country is now in the “best shape ever” (or at least headed in that direction).
